Bad news - Pabst stopped production in 2005 (according to realbeer.com).

That is indeed sad news. At one time, Falstaff was the #2 selling beer in America. I even had a few shares of stock at one time. Then it was purchased by Paul Kalmanowitz (sp?), and he drove the brand into the ground. I knew it had been purchased by Pabst, but up until a few years ago, I could still find it in a few liquor stores. I guess we can only hope someone will buy the brand name, label, and formula and resurrect it. Thanks for the info.
Falstaff Frankenstein Ale?

I like all of them and even have the special Chimay Chalis. But you are right, the Red and White are the best.

Have you tried Lindemans? Its another Belgian beer that someone from here (I forget who) recommended awhile back and its extremely good... also extremely expensive though. Theres a few different kinds of that too, but the 2 I like the most are the Framboise and the Kriek, which are the rasberry and cherry ones.

The Western Brewing Co was a local brewery area foundeed in 1840 to brew beer for the large German immigrat population in the St Louis area.
The very first Fallstaff brand appeared in 1899
In 2002 the Falstaff contract was shifted from Miller to City Brewing which was owned by Pabst. Sales were decling and by 2003 the brand had disappered from a number of states. In 2005 Pabst announced it would no longer produce Falstaff Beer Sales in 2004 were only 1,468 barrels.
Another good German Beer in the St Louis area was Stag

All I know about this beer is that Sheryl Crow name-checked it in A Change Would Do You Good:
"He's a platinum canary
Drinking Falstaff beer."
